A Malaysian man sought help from a medium to rid him of a female ghost whom he said had demanded sex from him every night for the past sixteen years, a report said on Saturday.

The 34-year old man, known only as Kelvin, said that the nightmare started when he was only 18.

"Bad luck had followed me ever since," he was quoted as saying by the Mandarin-language China Press national daily.

"I couldn`t get married although I had five girlfriends, and I have been fired from my job 10 times because I could not get enough sleep and was too tired to concentrate on my work," he said.

The medium from whom he sought help said the woman had committed suicide from a failed relationship 30 years ago.

To banish the sex-hungry ghost, a netherworld wedding was held and three paper dolls - representing a groom, a driver and a maid - were burnt to keep the ghost company.
